Definitely not enough haymakers being thrown to compare it to Houston vs Iowa State. But Iowa State is tough! We know this because his coach wears small sized collared shirts. INTIMIDATION IS KEY! [Reply]
Wasn't like that at all. The top 2 teams in the Big 12 played a good one. Its between 4 teams, (UH, I State, KU and Baylor),and its gonna come down to the very end. Hope they're all good games. May the best team win. [Reply]

Disgraceful basketball that I had the misfortune of spending 2.5 hours watching. I should have stuck with tonight‘s curling instead.

Especially critical of Texas Tech.
Ya, we haven't been bitching about these types of games for years with WVU or TT or any other school. We're just afraid now that Houston is in the league so we're looking for excuses. :-) [Reply]

First half of that game was clearly reffed in favor of Houston. Another infuriating game to have $ on, but ISU covered and saved my day after stupidly walking into the Virginia trap. [Reply]

The announcers literally made comments about how physical the game was and discussed if the Big 12 would be at a disadvantage in the tournament because they are used to playing such a violent style. [Reply]

Shead took the game over in the 2nd half so Houston was the rightful winner, but the 1st half was one way in terms of the refereeing. Amazing that Otzelberger didn't get a technical considering some of those calls. His team was getting mugged all over the court. [Reply]

I thought I heard them saying something during the KU game the other day about the physical play in the league and how they were going to start cracking down on it. [Reply]
